Are you overwhelmed with anxiety, fear of uncertainty, and/or unwanted, intrusive thoughts? Are these experiences holding you back from engaging in meaningful parts of your life? If yes, you are not alone. Unmanaged anxiety and OCD can be incredibly painful and lead to feelings of sadness and shame. But there is hope. By learning how to manage the fears, thoughts, and behaviors that keep you stuck, you can begin to embrace the uncertainty and live a more present and fulfilling life.
With a warm, lighthearted and collaborative approach, I utilize a variety of evidence-based treatments including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Mindfulness to help patients reclaim a sense of control in their lives.
A highly influential aspect of treatment is often the relationship and collaboration between a patient and therapist. I aim to provide a therapeutic environment where you can feel accepted, understood, and safe. If you’re feeling stuck and want support with achieving a more present and fulfilling life, please contact me to discuss how we can work together.
